@Khuze_Elikhulu Topped only by the "potholes ahead" signs, especially when the sign is more than two years old and there's been nothing done. Yerrrr!!!!
Few things irritate me like those "HIJACKING HOTSPOT - NEXT 7KM" signs splattered all over our country. Like, if you know there's a hijacking hotspot for the next 7km then... what are you doing about it? Did you just put up the sign and go home? Are drivers supposed to turn back?
If you grew up in a lazy weekends, wake up whenever, fend for yourself breakfast, pajamas all day, do absolutely nothing family, DO NOT marry into a wake up at 6am to go berry picking before the heat gets too bad family.
📺When it comes to South African ensemble sitcoms, Emzini Wezinsizwa and City Ses'la are in a league of their own.
Both perfected dialogue and pacing when it comes to Sitcom ensemble writing and performance!
I still don't get why City Ses'la is so polarising on Twitter.
real.
also, isn't it interesting how it's always the english (lit) teachers? what does that tell you about the impact and value of humanities/being able to read 'into' things
Another thing is that we don’t even talk to each other anymore. We don’t say hey you mis-stepped here or hey you misread this situation between us. We just write about you on social media now. We humiliate you.
Very tough conditions for openness and vulnerability those.
Also, and this is my last one. Before I get preachy. People are just not kind to themselves anymore. They’re careless with themselves. I don’t know about you but I can’t trust someone who’s careless with themselves. How will they be careful with me?
And to read African literature only for its sociological or historical usefulness is to deny it the critical freedom routinely granted to other literary traditions.
African writing must also be allowed to be difficult, intimate, speculative, formally excessive, aesthetically autonomous, and uninterested in serving as anyone’s cultural evidence.
